If you aren't abusing the subs and if you aren't porting them you won't realize the advantages of the SA line -- if you think you may up your power and/or run them ported later the SA is a great choice.

Out of "large company" drivers in this class the Type-R is one of the best.

oWNED BOTH AND TYPE RS dont really like over their rated power and sundown sa12s love my saz 3500 @ .5ohm without any issues and sound way better. Customer service is A-1 with Sundown but Alpine different story
